Using Sudo in Windows SFTP to switch user?

Question

I am trying to upload files on my server using the PuTTY SFTP command shell. My teammates have been using the Mac and Linux is our server, so they have predefined commands.

I am working on Windows and need to do the following (these are ssh commands on Mac for SFTP) :

# Copy from my laptop to my home directory  /home/username
# Change the permissions on your folder:  
chmod 777 /home/username # this is giving issues

# Change to the "ABC" user: 
sudo su gcnweb # this is not working in windows

cd /path../  # Go to the deployment directories //no issues here

cp /path of the director/ # Copy the files from your home dir to the deployment dir //no issues here

Please check above and if anyone can help me in workaround to the same in Windows using PuTTY SFTP.

It would help if you show us the "predefined" commands" the Mac users have. — Martin Prikryl, Sep 25 '15 at 08:46
Is the `cd` and `cp` supposed to run within the `sudo su` session? It cannot work like this. Is it a script file or a transcript of an interactive session? (i.e. do they paste this commands to a terminal window?) — Martin Prikryl, Sep 25 '15 at 08:55
Well, they are working and my teamates was doing it on his Mac, It works!! These are the commands they use in the terminal window. — Incredible, Sep 25 '15 at 08:56

These are shell commands. It has nothing to with an SFTP.

You can execute the exactly same commands, if you use a Windows SSH client. Like PuTTY itself (putty.exe).
